Description

Vancouver, BC ranks at the top on the United Nations indices of the world’s most livable cities. It also holds the dubious distinction of being Canada’s drug capital with severe drug related problems. The beautiful city of Chiang Mai, Thailand has its own share of addiction woes. This presentation focuses on responses from two different angles: frontline work with youth in Chiang Mai; and the four pillars drug policy of Vancouver with some of its controversial measures like North America’s first Supervised Injection Site.
